God Bless America!

The camp site camp together just fine, only one trip to the Wal Mart Store (yea, I called it that) for some cheater logs and propane lighters.  Bring it on.

Takin some pictures, and I’ll get them posted on Monday. Sorry, that darn cable to connect to the computer is anywhere but here.

How cool is this.
